(1)
Board ID setting
When using two or more motionCAT master boards, each must be configured with a different ID.
Changing the setting is unnecessary when using only one.
(2)
Communication setting
If communication errors occur frequently due to the installation environment etc, use a lower
communication speed. Make sure that each slave to connect is also configured with the same
communication speed. Normally, this setting does not need to be changed.
